How to Master Public Speaking in a Virtual World

They provided advice to our audience on best practices in speaking on virtual meetings and offered actionable advice you can use right now. Here is a breakdown of the discussion:

Defining your North Star, and Why it is so Important
Having a "North Star" has been propagated throughout the business lexicon for several years. Usually, this is a top-down agenda. Behind closed doors, executives come up with their "north star" where they want the company to head and disseminate those goals down through the organization. It is then stowed upon the team leaders to guide their employees in this direction. But as individuals, we often don't undertake the same strategy to develop where we want to be a year from now or even ten years from now.

Time for a mental health tune-up!
Our feelings of anxiety or stress can easily be pushed aside (or at least we pretend to push them aside), so we can get through the work. The problem is that these feelings will bubble under the surface until they finally explode, and that is never a good ending for anyone. GMN is teaming up with COA and Z1 Career Training to explore the topic of mental health and fitness in an upcoming Ask a Mentor LIVE session. Our expert panelists will discuss ways to recognize unhealthy signs of pandemic stress in yourself and others. They will also offer simple, practical steps you can take to improve mental fitness and healthy habits you can establish for yourself and your team

However, when you're at a fork in the road in your career path is it best to seek a mentor or a career coach, and what is the difference?
